Possession to Nature
Jimin Hong

About this Work 

This project started with the question of a territorial dispute over "the island”.

What does it mean to possess? We try to own nature and fight over it through money, borders, boundaries, and maps in the language we have defined. But from nature's perspective, such language does not exist.

The question invites people into a space to explore the meaning and behavior of human beings in trying to own nature. This question about one island extends to all the territorial conflicts that are happening around the world today, as well as to the question of how we exist with nature.
